Godly leadership is marked by sacrifice, stewardship, and striving for the maturity of God’s people. In this passage, we see leaders called to suffer for the sake of the church, to proclaim the mystery of the gospel with faithfulness, and to labor so that every believer might grow into full maturity in Christ. True leadership isn’t about power or prestige—it’s about serving, proclaiming, and helping others grow in the Lord.
